How do I check for air leaks in the vacuum system?
I'll get hold of a battery from another car to test that theory as soon as possible. Today I noticed it trying to idle below 500RPM consequently cutting out, this is out of spec as the ECU should keep the idle in drive within the 550-650 RPM range. Perhaps a sensor is too blame?

Did you set the valve clearance to the 300E spec or the 3.6 Brabus spec. On my front cross member there is a Brabus plaque stating the correct valve clearance gap and spark plugs as these values are different from the standard engine.
